عَرائِسُ القُضبِ تُجلى

عَرائِسُ القُضبِ تُجلى

عَلى كَراسي الرَوابي

عَلى كَراسي الرَوابي

The brides of the boughs are unveiled

The dolls reveal themselves

Upon the seats of the knolls.

On the chairs of the meadows

وَمَجلِسُ الرَوضِ فيهِ

وَمَجلِسُ الرَوضِ فيهِ

فَرشٌ مِنَ العَتّابي

فَرشٌ مِنَ العَتّابي

And the garden's gathering place holds

And the garden's sitting room

Carpeting of striped ʿAttābī cloth.

Has carpets of velvet

فَاِنعَم وَلَذَّ بِبَكرٍ

فَاِنعَم وَلَذَّ بِبَكرٍ

قَد تُوِّجَت بِالحَبابِ

قَد تُوِّجَت بِالحَبابِ

So revel, and delight in virgin wine

So enjoy a morning

Already crowned with bubbles.

Crowned with bubbles

كَأَنَّما الكَأسُ مِنها

كَأَنَّما الكَأسُ مِنها

مُحيطَةٌ بِسَرابِ

مُحيطَةٌ بِسَرابِ

As though the cup of that wine

As if the cup from it

Were enclosing a mirage.

Is filled with mirages
